Question

Answer 1

It depends on what you are looking for.  Currently, there are only two job postings.  Since you said you were a law student, you will need to finish that up, and possibly take the bar somewhere.  I assume that you are wanting to work on the legal side of things, each of their openings has different qualifications.  I would assume that you would need to be geared (in law) more towards an international law issue:  human rights, water rights, trade, intellectual property, etc.  They dont deal at all with personal cases.  Best bet, check out their internship program, it would be a good way to get contacts and possibly get a foot in the door.  It is going to be a hard place to get into, and you may have to establish yourself in the legal community first before they will higher you.  Good luck.
